Oil tankers are not solely to blame for pollution at sea. Non-tankers have released numerous spills. The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage has been adopted, but has not yet come into force. This timely and comprehensive book studies compulsory insurance, its main purpose of ensuring compensation and its interrelations with other features such as the rule of strict liability, the limitation of liability of that convention.

The approach throughout is both legal multi-disciplinary and comparative. The relevant international conventions are examined (particularly the 'Bunker Convention' of 2008), with particular attention to their implementation in China and Europe, as well as the independent US regime. In addition, detailed empirical data from well-known case studies provide important insights into the working of international and national prevention and compensation mechanisms.

This paper discusses important features of the international conventions regulating the compensation of oil pollution damage, more particularly the limitation of the liability of the tanker owner and the additional compensation provided through the IOPC Fund. The paper sketches the historical evolution of the conventions since their origin in 1969 until the latest amendments in May 2003. In addition, the compensation of victims of oil pollution in China is discussed, whereby it is stressed that China has acceeded to the CLC conventions, but has not implemented those in national law. The lack of compulsory insurance of tanker owners and the fact that China is not a party to the fund convention are critically discussed. A comparison between the international regime and Chinese law is provided. The paper concludes with a few policy conclusions and suggestions to improve the compensation of oil pollution damage in China.
